Mariam,
Be sure VFPOLEDB is installed and registered there. You might quickly check it in many ways. ie: with a simple HTM
<html>
<title>Check VFP Table</title>
<body>
<script language="JScript">
function CheckTable(dbcPath,dbfName)
{
var strCn = "Provider=VFPOLEDB;Data Source=" + dbcPath;
var strSQL = "select * from " + dbfName;
var oConn = new ActiveXObject("Adodb.Connection");
oConn.ConnectionString = strCn;
oConn.Open;
var oRS = oConn.Execute(strSQL);
var lst="<TABLE border='1'><TR>";
var Maxfields=5;
var MaxRows=20;
for (i=0;i<Math.min(oRS.Fields.Count,Maxfields);i++)
{
lst += "<TH>";
lst += oRS.Fields(i).Name;
lst += "</TH>";
}
lst += "</TR>";
var counter=0;
while (!oRS.eof
{
lst += "<TR>";
for (i=0;i<Math.min(oRS.Fields.Count,Maxfields);i++)
{
lst += "<TD>";
lst += oRS.Fields(i).Value;
lst += "</TD>";
}
lst += "</TR>";
oRS.MoveNext();
counter++;
}
lst += "</TABLE>";
oConn.Close();
tablelist.innerHTML = lst;
return true;
}
</script>
<table>
<TR><TD>Locate DBC</TD><TD><input type='file' size='80' name='DBCLOCATION'></TD></TR>
<TR><TD>TableName</TD><TD><input type='text' size='80' name='TABLENAME'></TD></TR>
</TABLE><HR>
<input type='button' value='List' onClick="CheckTable(DBCLOCATION.value,TABLENAME.value);return;">
<div id='tablelist'></div>
</body>
</html>With a udl.
-Create an empty file with extension .udl
-Dblclick the udl file
-Try to select VFPOLEDB from providers and creating a connection

>>Mariam,
>>Why are you using MSDASQL. It's a wrapper driver for ODBC. Directly use VFPOLEDB driver (BTW MSDASQL works too). ie:
>>
>>* lnHandle is ready
>>text to m.lcSQL textmerge noshow
>>insert into myTable ;
>> SELECT * FROM
>> OPENROWSET('VFPOLEDB',
>> '<<_samples+"data\testdata.dbc">>';'';'',
>> 'select * from orditems')
>>endtext
>>SQLExec(m.lnHandle,m.lcSQL)

>>>Thank you for help.
>>>i try to use OpenRowSet() but have a error message
